I should clarify my statement to say that there aren't any FDE products that encrypt the boot volume on a Mac. This gets back to the whole issue of getting users to store their data in a specific place. I think that in the case of PGP Filevault might still be a better option because it will encrypt a majority of the user's data, including mail caches and other data that the user doesn't typically touch or even know about. -----Original Message----- From: Julian Y.

PGP's Whole Disk Encryption supports Mac OS X, but only for non-booting volumes. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Desktop 9.6.3 (Build 3017) Comment: <http://bt.ittns.northwestern.edu/julian/pgppubkey.html> wj8DBQFHYp1CDlQHnMkeAWMRAjsvAKCdOwj4w69JZVYOb08aGBA/jhadaQCgljAk 8xKG0ZJBiYq2Pl80c/Q5XSk= =hEFF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Julian Y.
